Is a glass tabletop good?

1 Answer
Is a glass tabletop good?
Whether a glass tabletop is good is largely a matter of personal preference. A glass tabletop is non-porous and easy to clean. Some people living in small spaces choose glass table tops because the material allows light to pass through it, and this can make rooms seem bigger. But glass is fragile, and it is more often subject to damage than other materials that could be chosen for table surfaces. Shop an assortment of antique, vintage and modern tables on 1stDibs.
